Bush administration commits acts of treason

August 11, 2005

How does one keep up with the unfolding of high-crimes initiated by the Bush administration, let alone the brewing innuendo of “treason” inferred by some congressmen and many in the intelligence services?

It is an act of treason to go to war based on lies and the dissemination of information; information that administration officials knew to be false, i.e., uranium from Niger, aluminum centrifuges supposedly used for uranium enrichment, ties to al Qaida, and Iraqi ties to the 9/11 attacks. It is also an act of treason to disingenuously foment fear with a nation’s citizenry to make the case for war. Remember the rhetoric about “mushroom clouds,” “biological weapons drones,” and “45-minute attack window”?

It is an act of treason to “out” a CIA operative, bringing untold damage to our intelligence agencies for the express purpose of punishing individuals who criticize administration policies. Let’s hope that special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald can find out which “high official” in this administration is responsible for compromising our national security.

There are glimmers of hope for justice. The media seems to be awakening from its deathly sleep, perhaps smelling high crimes blood in the water. Additionally, prosecutor Fitzgerald continues to dredging under the Neocon cesspool, and Congressman John Conyers continues his investigations into the Downing St. (“intelligence is being fixed”) Memo. Also of note, the Democratic Party of Oregon has lent its support by passing a resolution calling for articles of impeachment of George W. Bush if these investigations prove administration malfeasance.
